It IS odd that Klein is the only one not hanging out at their house. Maybe he's on a date with Skuld.

Anyway. I kinda liked the first half of this episode. Kinda gave me the feels.

Second half was obviously just setup for what's coming up.

Because they pretty much live in the game. They don't just play to level and kill monsters. It's their second lives.

Yeah, I really don't care about anything going on in their real lives. And Asuna's seems like it could go in some kind of depressing/frustrating direction, so I'm really not looking forward to any of that.

Group? Seemed like it was just one guy. And obviously something is going on there, since they had some kind of mid-fight exchange.

I mean, that's pretty straightfoward. Kirito said he got the Dual Wield skill because he had the fastest reaction time in the game. He's basically just saying that this guy has a faster reaction time than him.

Pretty sure the "original skill" is like Kirito's Dual Wield. Those moves aren't crafted, they're rewarded.

Also, it's a skill, not a weapon or suit of armor. You don't craft a skill.
